ABOUT US
WE WANT YOU TO EXPERIENCE ROWING
Have you ever stood on the bank of the river and watched some of the large rowing boats and thought you’d like to give it a go? Well, now you can with Cambridge Rowing Experience – a brand new attraction aimed at complete beginners where you can enjoy rowing without needing to be affiliated to the University!
You can now book a 3 hour experience with us and be rowing on the river Cam in little over an hours’ time! You’ll get the chance to row in a coxed ‘eight’ boat, just like the crews in the famous Cambridge-Oxford Boat Race and so will be joined with seven other complete beginners.
For tourists, delegates, event attendees etc. we can now give you the most 'Cambridge' experience by offering you an opportunity to try this iconic activity - and become a member of a town rowing club for the day.
No experience necessary and age is just a number! If you're physically able to get in and out of a boat safely, we will make every effort to make this possible for you.
My vision has always been to make rowing more accessible to everyone - without needing to be affiliated to the University or having to commit to a crew/learn to row course.
It gives me great pleasure to say that with Cambridge Rowing Experience, we have managed to accomplish exactly this.

ABOUT THE CLUB
Our home club is City of Cambridge Rowing Club, the oldest town club on the River Cam. Early records show the existence of the ‘Cambridge Boat Racing Club’ in 1844, the largest contingent of which went on to become the ‘Cambridge Town Rowing Club’ in 1863. This eventually changed to 'City of Cambridge Rowing Club' in 1932 - affectionately known by rowers as 'City'.
Despite being the oldest club, it has recently been rebuilt from scratch to become a new purpose built facility comprising of a larger boat bay, lounge area with a licenced bar and balcony, changing facilities and a second floor gym with views across the common.
